After Action Report

The Magic ran roughshod over the Bulls 106-74. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bulls' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Bulls pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
